Uh!** Chuh-chuh chah-chah-chah, Chuh-chuh chah-chah-chah. (whispered)** Chuh-chuh chah-chah-chah, Chuh-chuh chah-chah-chah. (whispered very faint)** Uuuuuuu-uh! (hummed)** One, one, one, one.** One! two! One! Two! Three!.. Aooooooo!** Ah! Oh! Huh! Hey! Oh! Ho! Eh! Hey!** Wake up, kids. We've got the dreamers disease. Age fourteen, they got you down on your knees. So polite, we're busy still saying please. Frenemies, who when you're down ain't your friend. Ev'ry night we smash a Mercedes Benz.* First we run and then we laugh till we cry. But when the night is falling, You cannot find the light, light. If you feel your dreams are dyin', hold tight. You've got the music in you. Don't let go. You've got the music in you. One dance left. This world is gonna pull through. Don't give up. You got a reason to live. Can't forget. We only get what we give. I'm comin' home, baby. You're the tops. Give it to me now. Four A. M., we ran a miracle mile. We're flat broke, but hey, we do it in style. The bad rich, God's flyin' in for your trial... Ha-ha!** But when the night is falling, You cannot find a friend, friend. You feel your tree is breakin' just then. You've got the music in you. Don't let go. You've got the music in you. One dance left. This world is gonna pull through. Don't give up. You got a reason to live. Can't forget. We only get what we give... uh!** Aooooooo!** This whole damn world could fall apart. You'll be OK, follow your heart. You're in harms way. I'm right behind. Now say you're mine. You've got the music in you. Don't let go. You've got the music in you. One dance left. This world is gonna pull through. Don't give up. You got a reason to live. Can't forget. We only get what we give. Don't let go. I feel the music in you, yo, hey, hey, ooh.** Fly... high. What's real can't die. You only get what we give. You're gonna get what we give. Don't give up.** Just don't be afraid to leave. Health insurance rip off lying. FDA big bankers buying, (rap start) Fake computer crashes dining. Cloning while they're multiplying. Fashion shoots,* Don't give up. (sung)** With Beck and Hanson,* Courtney Love and Marilyn Manson. You're all fakes, Run to your mansions. Come around, We'll kick your ass in! (rap end)*** Don't let go.** One dance left.** Ooh ooh ooh, don't give up.** Ooh ooh ooh, can't forget.** Ooh ooh ooh, don't let go. (fade)**
Familiar eh this song?
I have always liked this song since I was back in primary school but I don't know what the name of the band is.
Recently heard it on the radio and Shan was talking about them so decided to do some research about them.
The New Radicals were formed in Los Angeles, California in 1997 by Gregg Alexander, who had previously released two unsuccessful solo albums, 1989's Michigan Rain and 1992's Intoxifornication. Michael Rosenblatt, MCA Records' A&R Senior Vice President, signed the band to the label in 1998 and Alexander received an $600,000 advance for their first (and only) album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. The album was released on October 20, 1998 and was well received.
Gregg Alexander announced Monday (July 12) he is disbanding his alternative-pop band, whose only album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too (1998), featured the name-dropping hit "You Get What You Give." The singer/songwriter said he wants to focus his efforts on producing. "I view myself much the same as a just-getting-started Babyface," he said in a statement, referring to the producer of such hit acts as Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men and Madonna.
"Over the last several months, I'd lost interest in fronting a one-hit wonder to the point that I was wearing a hat while performing so that people wouldn't see my lack of enthusiasm," Alexander said. He stated that he "accomplished all of [his] goals with this record" and that "the fatigue of traveling & getting three hours sleep in a different hotel every night to do boring 'hanging and schmoozing' with radio and retail people, is definitely not for him.
A bit saddening when he said he wore a hat so that people wouldn't see him lack of enthusiasm during performances.
You somehow can see his lacking of enthusiasm in this next video.
It was after a "big fight" with his record company when he finally agreed to shoot this video.
90 miles outside Chicago Can't stop driving I don't know why So many questions I need an answer Two years later, you're still on my mind Whatever happened to Emilia Earhart Who holds the stars up in the sky Is true love once in a lifetime Did the captain of the Titanic cry Someday we'll know If love can move a mountain Someday we'll know Why the sky is blue Someday we'll know Why I wasn't meant for you Does anybody know the way to Atlantis Or what the wind says when she cries I'm speeding by the place where I met you For the 97th time tonight
(chorus)
Someday we'll know Why Samson loved Delilah One day I'll go Dancing on the moon Someday you'll know That I was the one for you I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow I watched the stars crash in the sea If I could ask God just one question Why aren't you here with me?
(chorus)
Some songs you just wouldn't get sick and tired ya? =)
